sun on the dewy grasslands where late the frost hath shone.

And lo whet eifin cities are these we came upon. , what. pigmy domes and thstches.

what Arab caravan,

what downy-roofed pagoda: that have known no touch of man,

Are these the old-time meadows? Yes. the wild grape scents the

air, The breath of ripened orchards still is incense everywhere; Yet do these dawn-encampments bring the lurking memories of Egypt and of Burma and the shores of China seas. --T. Walsh.

Mushrooms are found in this garden on several of the lawns where the mushroom spawn was scattered under the trees a few years ago. It is always a surprise in the early morning to find these colonies of upstztrts that we did not see in the evening. These are very good to eat and I remember an old English relative who thought that these mushrooms were as nutri- tious as beefsteak certainly they do not cost anything but the time for the gathering.

Species Lily lS now blooming in rosy c mine. and at this sea- son of the year it is very much ap- preciated in the garden. This lily is of the recurved flower the 'I'urk's Cap or Martagon group of the Lil- lum genus. which is part of the family I.ilaceae. The blooms of this type have rolledlback (petals). more" properly called segments in the case of -lilies. L. Speclosum makes the most of this feature for displaying its elaborately decorat- ed flower face. It is a native of Japan and. with the varieties is a treasure no gardener should miss. It is hardy and easier to grow than many other lilies. and coming in the Autumn it will provide beauti- ful decorations for the house. The plant grows up to four feet in height, and the drooping. fragrant flowers are rosy carmine with crim- son velvet spots and an edging of white.

The three speclosum lilies in this garden have a lovely band of crim- son and copper colored anthers. Next year I shall plant it on a bank so that it will be easier to see and enjoy as all lilies look nicer when it is possible to look up to them in- stead of bending down on creaking joints.

The Miniature Roses have been potted up for winter blooming, these are new with me and since the Spring when they were planted in the garden have been a joy. They are true roses with fragrant blooms no larger than an inch in diameter even when in mu bloom. They are easy to grow and they will bloom all Summer. they are winter hardy but I am going to have them as pot plants for this year.

Pixie is a double white with pink shadings in cool weather; Red Elf is a rich, deep double-red on plants eight to ten inches tall; and Sweet Fairy with the true rose fragrance. Dainty, deep pink buds opening to lovely double blooms of ap-ple-blos- som pink. All house plants should be gathered in now to the porch or veranda to allow them to gradually change from the garden to house temperature. Geranium slips have been found under shrubs where they were htmrlcdly planted and

forgotten; they will provide good

bloom for the .wir.tte: months.

This country garden like all country gardens grows quantities of vegetables as well as flowers, and it is at this time of the year we are conscious of the bounty of the

. good earth; baskets and baskets of everything good to eat; the three- year-old. and the four-yewr-old. and the older children carry home to be preserved in one way or another for the months ahead. It is a. happy busy time in the coun- tryl The perennial plants for next year are grown in the vegetable garden and it is a delight to see all the plants grown from seed ready to be transplanted to their per-

The women of this sizable com- munity oi ours are now past the first monthly meeting of the newly instituted W. I. Last evening we foregathereci in a goodly number at the hospitable home of a young matron in the neighborhood of our initial session. We found our way thither quickly and comfortably by machine and returned to our door safely and in the same lordly man- ner . . . We often read of the efforts and sacrifices the pioneer women oi the movement had to make to be present at their meetings, how they walked long distances. rode there on horse-back or hitched and piloted their own team in order to get to the appointed place. And we can recall though not so clearly as we should wish, the undaunted spirit of one enterprising farm-wife in arriving at this objective. The occasion was the monthly after- noon meeting, at which the Super- visor from the city was- to be pre- sent. the place, the district school. some distance away. What a hitch- ing of horses, what feminine knots. there were later about convenient fenceposts and trees! And we sup- pose that agiong the number at- tending there would be those some- what puzzled to remember if him- self had said to "put the rope around Doll's neck first and then slip it through the ring oi the bridle, and tie her with a grannys knot" or not. Thoughts would stray from the deliberations of the moment to fancied eventualities in the event that reminders had not been too clear -- very timely and wise deliberations as time has since proven.

And how did those busy house- wives manage to bridge the dis-. tance near or f-urthcur which brought them to the school-house door? some walked along the friendly roadway angled a field in a short- cut, lengthy skirts flirting with the clovers in passing. And others as she whose face comes to mind now, drove there. But first, in her farm- er's busy-ness she must catch her steed on pasture. Have you ever ex- porienced the effort of this? If not, make yourself ready for the out- ins. crlmped hair swept back he- comingly into a neat round above the nape of the neck, secure it with combs and pins and then slip into a pretty but modest gown. . . But oh dear. better it always was; to round up the horse before one attired herself for the excursion. Then how shall we go about catch- ing the mare or that lad-of-a-horse in the meadow? Perhaps she or he might come at a call. Then a grab at the folrelock and passage was al- so within one's grasp.

But if the animal preferred the lazy shade and leisure of the clo- very meadow to the restricting shaifts one must catch it by guile. A measure of grain in a pan, ap- proaching one's quarry smiling, but with excited heartbeats, in the event the ruse failed . . . and the afternoon dribbling away! shake ihe container gently for how keen are horses' ears to the rustle of oatsl And then when the nose is exploring the depths of the bait. grab the forelock or indeed the day will be lost! Then lead the prize away to the stable to be bridled or perhaps one might manage it there -getting the bit in place and eas- ing the straps above and about the Ears. . . What delightful urea- ures were those old ones. as much a. part of the family as the faithful dog or the petted cat. that dropped heads obllslnsly to allow for brid- ling by the farm-wife or children!

Next put the breast-strap over the head being careful it is neither upside-down or inside-out. though the traces are there as a guide to the innocent. Casually one does it, but more cautious one should be in adiusting the pad and breeching. . . part of the latter at arm's length. to be safe or perhaps leaving this incidental until later, when one can lean out, with it little prac- tlce. from the wagon!

BEHAVIOR SYMPTOMS MAY FOLLOW AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE When a youngster is suffering with one of the infectious dkeases of childhood (measles. scarlet fev- er, German measles) )he get: every attention from the whole house- hold "because he is sick." Many children thus learn during their sick period to expect anything and everything to be done for them and even after they get better they continue to expect this extra ser- vice from members of the house-

hold.

Children's specialists tell us that it is at this point-when recovered from an illness-that many young- sters are spoiled for many years to come and often complain of more or less severe symptoms in order in get extra attention. The child de- velops a dependent personality That these behavior symptoms, as we call thorn, are not always pm on by youngsters is stated in Post Graduate Mcdlcule Dr. A. 3. Baker, University o Minnesota Medical School.

"Appearance of personality ai- ieratlons following common infec- tious diseascs. specially' measles and whooping cough. and less so chlclkenpox. scarlet fever. and smallpox, is due to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). This involvement or slight derangement of the nervous system may occur in the course of a light or mild at- tack oi the infectious disease and may be unrecognized or may re- sult in delirium. fever. stupor. epi- leptic attack. headache, vomiting, rigid neck, irregular breathing and muscle spasm and increase in the amount and number of cells .n the spinal fluid if the test is made. A number of ,cases of epilepsy have been traced to whooping cough 'r an early- age."

I am mentioning these of Dr. Baker because teachers. and some psyehclogivs. interested in the behavior at children, are naturally going to suspect the child recovering frorr an infectious disease of putnng on an act, to attract attention to him- self. which attention he had been receiving during his illness The youngster may need care immed- iately following an infectious dis- ease and therefore should be close- ly watched for behavior symptoms

For Wednesday, September 27

A RATHER perplexing and in- volved state of affairs, in which it may be difficult to make much proves: is forecast. And while im- Dortant matters must be consid- ered, with practical and worxaday issues coming up for judicious handlins. yet the tendency to shirk or sidestep may be accented It is probable that the less sordid things of life have no allure, with.

the stress on the feelings, emo- -

tions. ideals and sentiments. Even these call for astute manipulation. for security.

If It Is Your Birthday

Those whose birthday it is, may find themselves disposed to side- step sordid and matter-of-fact activities in favor of the senti- mental, emotional or dramatic as- pects of living. although these. as well. demand practical planning and shrewd management. These are obscure or subtle factors to be deftly turned to good account. par- ticularly since there are obstacles or peculiar circumstances to per- plex or baffle. For security and en- during values. it might be wise to heed "the still small voice." A "hunch" or imagination might be constructive.

A child born on this day may be slow or reticent in its menial pro- cesses. although its imagination. ideals and inner urges may be ere; alive and workable.
